Nevertheless, in this month’s PFAS News & Views, we call out a few stories that could have a big impact in the months and years to come, including several impactful court decisions.  ###### Topics: [PFAS](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/pfas) [Drinking Water](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/drinking-water) [EPA](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/epa) ###### 10 min read ## [Pace® PFAS News and Views – August 2025](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/pace-pfas-news-and-views-august-2025) By [Lindsay Boone, M.Sc.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/author/lindsay-boone) on Aug 13, 2025 11:00:00 AM [![](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hubfs/PFAS%20News%20and%20Views.png)](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/pace-pfas-news-and-views-august-2025) It’s hard to believe, but Pace® PFAS News & Views is already in its fourth year of publication! This month, we decided to freshen up our style by dividing the monthly newsletter into four distinct sections: federal actions, state actions, topics of interest, and conferences & webinars. Our goal is to continue to provide relevant information to our clients, but in a format that is easier to scan and digest. As always, we will provide our perspectives as well. We hope you enjoy the new approach! ###### Topics: [PFAS](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/pfas) [Drinking Water](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/drinking-water) [EPA](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/epa) [DOD](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/dod) ###### 9 min read ## [State Drill Down – PFAS in Drinking Water](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/state-drill-down-pfas-in-drinking-water) By [Paul Jackson](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/author/paul-jackson) on Apr 10, 2025 11:10:39 AM [![](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hubfs/blog%20header%20(5).png)](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/state-drill-down-pfas-in-drinking-water) In Q1 of 2025, several states proposed PFAS limits in drinking water to preempt any attempts by the current administration to roll back the current Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) finalized by the U.S. EPA in 2024. In this post, I’ll summarize what we’re seeing and provide insights into what this may mean for our drinking water clients. ###### Topics: [PFAS](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/pfas) [PFAS Legislation](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/pfas-legislation) ###### 5 min read ## [Pace® PFAS News and Views – April 2024](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/pace-pfas-news-and-views-april-2024) By [Lindsay Boone, M.Sc.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/author/lindsay-boone) on Apr 17, 2024 12:00:00 PM [![](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hubfs/PFAS%20News%20and%20Views.png)](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/pace-pfas-news-and-views-april-2024) The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) for PFAS limits in drinking water have been announced.

In this month’s PFAS News and Views, we focus on several recent developments as the agency works to finish the final mile in the PFAS Strategic Roadmap published in 2021. ###### Topics: [PFAS](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/pfas) [Plan 15](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/plan-15) [NPDWR](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/npdwr) [POTWs](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/potws) [Toxicity Assessments](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/toxicity-assessments) [CWA](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/cwa) [PFAS Destruction & Disposal](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/pfas-destruction-disposal) ###### 1 min read ## [ASTM D8421/EPA 8327: A Faster, More Affordable PFAS Test Method](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/astm-d8421-epa-8327) By [Sherri R.

For example, the U.S. EPA strongly encourages Draft Method 1633 for NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permitting. The Department of Defense calls for Draft Method 1633 when testing AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) and F3 (Fluorine-Free Foam) for PFAS. At least twelve states have even updated their lab accreditation programs to include Draft Method 1633. ###### Topics: [PFAS](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/pfas) [Wastewater](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/wastewater) [Method 1633](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/method-1633) [Webinar](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/topic/webinar) ###### 4 min read ## [Which PFAS will be regulated next?](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/which-pfas-will-be-regulated-next) By [Lindsay Boone, M.Sc.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/author/lindsay-boone) on Feb 1, 2023 12:13:46 PM [![](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hubfs/PFAS%20Cloud-01-1.jpg)](https://blog.pacelabs.com/en/pfas-blog/which-pfas-will-be-regulated-next) Lately, we’ve all been watching and waiting for the EPA to publish its proposed MCLs (Maximum Contaminate Levels) for PFOA and PFOS and to designate these two compounds as hazardous substances under CERCLA (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act).
